VMS backup failures after Networker Server rebuild

[kythri]

Hi there!

We backup VMS via the WumpusWare VMS client.

Prior to my Networker server failing and needing rebuilt, VMS backups worked fine.

After the Networker server restore, I get the following error on all drives:

---PASTING ONE DRIVE AS REPRESENTATIVE EXAMPLE---
salem1
DRV_09:[000000]

* salem1RV_09:[000000] 5 retries attempted

---END PASTE---

Due to corporate layoffs (we're closing in June, but I still have to backup data until then), we don't have an actual VMS admin - we've got a developer who knows a bit of VMS and has root/superuser on the VMS machines.

Any idea what would cause this error? As far as I know, nothing has changed on the client, and I'm not sure what would have changed on the server once I pulled the bootstrap.

OK - this look like the client does not listen to the right server.

Stop nsrexecd. The edit or delete /nsr/res/servers and restart nsrexecd. This is not very secure but it should solve the problem.

Hrmm - tried that, same failures.

Oy vey, this is turning into a nightmare.

Check file NSR$RES:SERVERS. on VMS client.
This file should be empty or have to include hostname of NetWorker server.
